You can. They sell pellet guns at Walmart. Good ones that will kill a squirrel. From experience understand giving one to kids will likely end with a pellet through a window or through a shoe.

I’m all for the tip I just want us to keep our semantics clean and encourage/require companies to keep the base pay worked directly into the cost of services. I see some people have different definitions than me but defining tips as d

Good point. I’m interested in starting tip-shame shaming movement. Hope you’ll join when we realign incentives. Cheers.

The only one I’d change is the 10% tip should be named as a fee. I think our tipping culture is okay but I’d like us to move to calling them delivery fees so we can keep the idea of the tip as a pure bonus between me and those serving me. I

I didn't want to put too much forward but truly I'm interested in starting a secular church to capture new parents returning to the church. The main issue is the base organization would have to change. Sermon's would have t

I think much of what went well in America had much to do with civil society. I believe we collectively figured out there’s likely no god and mistakenly assumed everything that went along with the whole community & church system was to

Hey, you're right :) I was talking past you because I didn't realize you were the OP that prompted my thought. Also I was thinking about a more general trend in points and not yours specifically. You've got a great point a

Ft. Worth cut capacity in half. No ones coming in anyway. The city is probably just trying to buy a couple weeks before going all in.

I am obviously not addressing whether it's true or saying the argument must be wrong. I'm pointing out there's some circular reasoning here that's unexamined in most online discussions about UBI. I am pointing out th

This is what bothers me most about arguments against UBI. They seem to have baked into them an assumption that any reduction of inequality will be eaten by rents. Then it follows that the only thing is to balance concentrated private eco

That’s just a UBI with a different mechanism. The problem here is most proposals for negative income tax pay out annually rather than monthly (you specifically do not), and fail to account for people who do not work but otherwise provide u

Giant shoulders mean this usually happens by the highway without trouble.

by bnjms 7y ago
That would be wonderful. One of the reasons I liked recent UBI proposals is because it jury are nonwage replacing but would do a lot to balance out the understood value of low-training-&-skilled-physical jobs.

by bnjms 7y ago
I see this all the time as the response to the argument that people rely on these jobs. The difference will be if, like England, the replacement jobs are more valuable by having greater leverage and impact. Or, as I suspect, the replaceme

Are you running the new Windows Terminal (Preview)? If not, and you try it, is it any better?

It is interesting but the proposal is entirely in line with that case as I recall. This issue was LinkedIn was complaining about scrapping of publicly reachable sites. And this new proposal is to keep the contents of discussions unarchived

That’s why these things should be national as far as we can support them. Healthcare being a perk of employment was a mistake from taxing only profit.

I shouldn’t have been so hyperbolic. Basically PG was a huge part of HN back then. You’ll see a lot of people writing as if they know him and everything by him or the likes of Steve Blank was voted to the top.

How is that ever a serious concern? Prosecute it if it happens and note that in any non coercive case it just leaves the employee with a bonus.

by bnjms 7y ago
It is the point. But it isn't the billionaire bit that matters. It's that PG is a celebrity on HN. He wrote this forum and most of the early posts were his blog posts. HN used to be all startups and tech all the time. Before Y-

Why, do they worship the Waltons of today? Or do they focus on Sam Walton and Walmart itself?

Lots of good discussion here about the state of iPad tablets. My SO is returning to school and wants a tablet for school. She likes her iPhone. Is the iPad ready to be a primary note taking solution? I have seen its note taking app used

Unless you know someone who deals this is the right answer. To add to this you can get spore syringes, and sometimes kits, from smoke shops. You may have to ask around and visit a few shops. Directions are easily found online.

We want people to feel good about positive actions taken so when we have to pressure them again they have a reason to care and turn about. Any positive movement means they're slipping, realize they're slipping and have to do some

I’m this case you can have your pie and eat it too. All that is missing is a popularity page. It’s true that random professional posts are the best part of HN but I mostly care about the posts that appear in /best for things outside m

A lot of people who voted for Trump are Bernie supporters now. It isn't surprising that people who are anti-establishment would be for Bernie. I am objecting to the casual dismissal by loneappde. It is meaningful that a large part o

Not really. Yang is unequivocal that expats should not receive the dividend while they are abroad. And they deserve their part given we tax them as if they were present.
